But [[it still takes the same place in the toolbar.]] If you expect to get more free place in the toolbar, you won't get it. This happens on Windows 7.

CSS in Eclipse 4.2

Some of the preferences from the General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts Preference page have been overridden by the CSS themes used in Eclipse 4.2.

The Eclipse SDK uses themes to group CSS style sheets for styling the workbench. They can be found in INSTALL/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0.qualifier/css.

Editing the CSS in eclipse

You can use our light-weight CSS editor to modify your look and feel. Go to the E4 install site and install the E4 CSS editor (Incubation). After a restart, you can go to the General > Appearance Preference page and modify the CSS. Some changes require another restart to take effect, some are instantaneous.
